The Boathaus Café is a building concept used to 
explore and learn about proper building codes 
and focuses on the corner site condition that
 is opposite the Historical Post Office Building Located in 
Downtown Brookings. The study of this site focuses
on how one approaches the building and how they
turn the corner. The concept of the Boathaus is
flexible, as it allows people to turn the corner
and experience a sense of fluidity because of the 
curved glass façade that exposes the main entrance of the building. 
Another way to emphasize that site is the unique
roof that angles out facing the post office, and extends beyond all the
 other buildings on the same street.
